The 'Get Ready for Brexit' meme originates from the UK government's 2019 public information campaign designed to prepare citizens and businesses for the United Kingdom's departure from the European Union. Featuring bold black text on bright yellow or checkered backgrounds, the visuals became an instant target for internet satire due to the perceived lack of preparation and the repetitive nature of the advertisements. Users often swap the word 'Brexit' for other inevitable disasters, complex life changes, or social situations where someone is shouting warnings to an audience that isn't listening. It serves as a humorous shorthand for any massive transition that feels poorly planned or inherently chaotic.
